Bag-a-licious

Well I’m writing from a very very chilly Canberra which is a very low 5°C right now … only one word for that and thats FREEZING!!!!

I’ve just popped in quickly to share some bags I made before I left for convention.

The first bag is a Bag-a-Lope and is done using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set and the greeting is from Level 1 Hostess Set Best Yet.The Panel behind the stamped image is done using the Scallop Border Punch and the ‘friend to friend’ sentiment is from the Pocket Silhouettes.  The instructions for the Bag-a-lope can be found at SplitCoast Stampers here

The second bag is done using the gorgeous Raspberry Tart Designer Series Papers and is made using the Box in a Bag tutorial also at Splitcoast Stampers. These are super easy to make and I’m more than happy to show you should you wish to hold a demonstration – remember when you host a demonstration you get to keep everything I make on the day. The flowers are from the Flower Fusion kit and are held together with a rhinestone brad.

As a reminder one of the specials for May is the Buy 3 and get one Free! So when you buy 3 packs of Designer Series Papers you get the fourth pack absolutely free!

There is another awesome special for May as well.

Dont forget I’ll be announcing my extra special special in line with the Designer Series Paper Promotion on Monday.

It was a very full on day today at Convention but an awesome one at that and I will fill you in more tomorrow if time permits. Tomorrow night sees the Stampin’ Up! Awards dinner where demonstrators are rewarded for achieving particular goals and the top 25 Demonstrators of the Year will be announced. So needless to say I’m looking forward to that – its a great night had by all in attendance – not just those receiving awards.

I’m off to hop into bed and try and get a little more sleep than I did last night – must have been all the excitement for today that kept me awake until 3am last night … now if only the rowdy crowd outside would realise its bedtime too!!

Have a wonderful SAturday!!
